I read that Habitat for humanity uses donated jeans for insulation. Do they do it in every state?

Question

How would I go about starting a collection and where would I send them to? I understand the zippers, metal attatchments and any buttons must be removed first.
My 22 yr old son has been out of work for almost a year due to illness and back surgery, now that he can go back to work slowly, part-time with no heavy lifting, no-one will hire him because his credit has gone in the hole because of the bills he's accumulated with no insurance. He needs a project to help someone else because his self-esteem is suffering badly because of not being allowed to work. This would be a perfect way to get out with people his own age at Colleges, and such collecting jeans for Habitat. He volunteered building for them when he was in high school a few years ago too. With me being disabled and him having to move back home, maybe this would be good for the both of us.
Have you got any information for us? I think they were doing at least one building in NY in the summer of 2006
THANX,Diane & Tom
